Executive parking up ahead.
Eddie, come on, give me a hint.
I hope Cort and Ruby have the champagne ready.
Your door, madam.
Thank you.
You rented a tux for a boat ride? Not just any boat ride, come on! Are we going to Catalina? You are taking me to dinner and dancing, aren't you? Huh, did I tell you or what? Woah! Now let's have some fun.
This is it? We're going aboard this rust bucket? Oh, come on, all this thing needs is a couple of coats of paint, trust me.
Woo-hoo-hoo! There you are, my dear.
Here you go.
Hey, don't be fooled by their nasty looks here.
Hey, how's the studebaker running? It's a password.
You've got to keep the riffraff out you know? Yeah, right.
Hey, Mac, pick us up in about three hours.
Woo! This place gives me the creeps.
This place is disgusting.
It gets better than this, guys.
I hope so.
Benny.
Hey, Cort, long time no see.
Another ship, another ocean.
Yeah.
They're clear.
Go on inside.
Let's do this.
Gambling? It's a lot closer than Vegas.
I'll meet you at the Blackjack table in an hour.
Eddie, isn't this illegal? I mean, we're still in the harbor.
Well, technically yeah.
Well, if they raid the boat, just tell them it was all my idea.
Raid? I'm just kidding.
All right, they've got spotters on deck.
They've got security people roaming all around this place.
They can turn this whole thing into an innocent-looking ballroom in about 30 seconds flat.
So lighten up.
It's just for a few hours.
Let's have some fun.
Eddie, we can't afford to gamble.
No, no.
We can't afford to lose.
There's a difference.
Well, let's see how long I can make this last.
That's the spirit.
Oof! So, throw me in a hundred bucks.
You're on, thanks.
And thanks for bringing me here, this is a great place.
Oh, well, enjoy it while you can before they move this floating palace to another port.
I'll do the best I can.
We got one chicken pot pie, which one is it? Dad, you're insulting me.
Why, what's wrong with these? I mean, if I'm old enough to stay home alone while you go on a date, then I'm old enough to choose my own frozen dinner in private.
Absolutely right.
Should I hired a sitter? Good one, dad.
Let me ask you a question.
How do you feel about me seeing Ms.
Keller all the time? You're already seeing her all the time.
You're right.
So, you don't have a problem with me dating your english teacher? English and homeroom.
So you do have a problem.
Dad, I'm only going to be in the 8th grade until June.
It's your future we're talking about.
You don't have that many good years left.
So tonight better be a very good date.
If you're really concerned about how I feel-- well, you know that I am.
Then there's always that rad new surfboard Cort's got at the shop.
Oh, yeah, that's real nice.
Forget it.
Black 31.
I guess you brought lady luck with you.
So, what are these worth? One, two bucks? Oh, ten, blue.
Twenty, red.
There's over a thousand dollars here.
Place your bets.
All righty.
What are you doing? Winning.
All right, let's go.
Yes, Mr.
Danvier? What's his name? Cort, sir.
Well, you've obviously done this before.
No, poker's my game.
A little back alley craps, darts, small stuff.
Well, I'm all cleaned out.
That's the idea, isn't it, Mr.
Cort? Well, you got me again, danvier.
Your friend is having his share of luck.
Beginner's luck.
Then I look forward to seeing you when you no longer have that advantage.
Ooh.
Well, gang, it's about time to go.
What, are you kidding me? I'm just getting started here.
Nope, nope.
My boat's been waiting out there three hours, and I promised Ruby a quiet, romantic dinner back on land.
Yes, you certainly did.
I'm starving.
Oh, great.
Okay, fine, let's go.
I tell you what, dinner's on me.
Place your bets.
Here you go.
Let's go.
All of a sudden it's hard to picture you teaching a bunch of eighth graders.
Why? Why? If I had a teacher as sexy and gorgeous as you look tonight, I would have done anything to stay after school.
Would you have offered to clap my erasers? Whatever it took.
Whatever it took? Whatever it took to let a certain school teacher know that a certain lifeguard is absolutely crazy about her.
Oh, we're talking in the present tense now.
Present and future.
Whoa! Whoa! That nervy guy.
Why, for jogging? No, for reminding us that we're not the only two people in the world right now.
I thought you weren't working today.
Yeah, but I still can't stay away from the beach.
Did I show you the new bracelet he got me? It's beautiful.
What's the occasion? Ha, love, I guess.
And a little luck.
A little what? Hey, they post tower assignments yet? Half an hour ago.
You're late.
I, uh, I had an emergency.
Everything okay? Yeah, yeah, it's just something I had to take care of.
What something is that? It's nothing.
Can you take my shift? Sure.
Thanks.
I'll see you.
Bye.
On my way.
Yeah.
Place your bets.
Red 14.
No more money? Yeah, and no more brains.
Hi Steve, here's your marker.
Marker for a thousand dollars.
Just like credit cards.
Thanks, honey.
Don't thank me.
Thank Mr.
Danvier.
Place your bets.
Uh, excuse me.
Yes? Can I get one of those markers please? How much do you want it for? Uh, 1,000.
Excuse me, make it 2,000.
There you go.
I always make good on my debts.
You told Mr.
Danvier that, didn't you? You missed a payment.
He's very upset.
I'll get it to him, I promise.
Sorry, Jay, no second chances.
No, no! Might as well lose it all.
You're up early.
I was going to make some coffee, but I see someone beat me to it.
It's the curse of dating a lifeguard.
Up before the sun.
You don't have to work today? No, I don't.
I'm all yours.
Oh, no.
It's okay, it's okay.
It's only the neighbor kids.
No, I'd better put some clothes on.
I don't think Hobie's ready to see his english teacher in his dad's bathrobe.
Yeah, I think you're right.
Wait, what do you want to do today? I don't know.
I am kind of curious about what a lifeguard does on his day off.
Let's go to the arcade.
I can't, I've got to do my dumb book report.
Oh, that thing.
Don't tell me you've written yours already.
No.
Have you even read a book yet? No.
Since when are you the genius brain who doesn't need to do his homework? Since my dad started dating Ms.
Keller.
So you just slough off your homework? What rad break for you, Hobe! I wish my dad would start dating one of my teachers.
Jeremy, your dad's married to your mom, remember? Tell me about it.
When one of them isn't grounding me, the other one is.
Where is he? Two hours.
Correction, two hours and ten minutes.
I'm gonna kill him.
He said we'd spend our day off together.
I was supposed to meet him here in the morning at tower 2.
I mean, I packed a picnic basket.
He said he'd bring the wine.
Never ever trust a man to bring the wine.
They always forget the corkscrew.
And if they don't forget he corkscrew, they'll forget the wine.
You've been out with a man before.
I guess Eddie just forgot everything.
A little overdressed for the beach aren't you? I'm sorry I'm late.
Did you have a nice boat ride? It was very long,but I'm here and I'm ready for our picnic.
Good.
Just bring the basket back when you're through.
Shauni.
Shauni.
I can't win at anything today.
Guess I never knew when I fell for you that our love was truly undeniable we go hand in hand like the sea and sand like a heart and soul are undividable our love is indescribable we go together like heaven and earth like a poet and a verse we go together, we're each other's catch and, baby we are a perfect match You're so beautiful I can't take it all there's no word to call you everything we do is more fun with two like it's all brand new and unforgettable our love is unmistakable we go together like heaven and earth like a poet and a verse we go together we're each other's catch and, baby we are a perfect match we go together like needle and thread like a pillow on a bed there's no illusion there's no catch 'cause, baby we are a perfect match This is our moment this is the time we will remember we gotta make the most of every second of every day Damn! All right, all right.
Oh, man.
Okay, okay, I'm doing these.
No, no, no.
What are you trying to do, scare me to death, huh? Would I do that? Who's my most dedicated and attentive employee? Yeah, right.
What are you doing here, anyway? I thought you were hot and heavy with Ruby today? Hot and heavy, and expensive.
My wallet is empty.
Instant bank.
So what's that? Oh, I can tell you how to beat the casinos at their own game.
Is that right? How? Don't play.
You play.
In fact, you're the one that took me out to that ship.
Oh, that was just a lot of fun.
Only an idiot thinks you're going to make money gambling.
I did.
Oh, anybody can get lucky.
You also got smart.
I did? Well, yeah sure, sure.
I mean, you walked away with cash.
Most guys get so greedy that they wind up losing three times as much money as they won.
Fools.
Yeah.
I owe me $200.
Voila.
So, if it gets any deader in here, why don't you just close up? All right, I will.
Thanks a lot.
You got it.
Hey, have fun.
I always do.
Yeah, sure.
Yes.
It may be my lucky day after all.
I owe you-- as I said before, these book reports are going to count heavily on your term grade.
I received some excellent reports, including Jonathan king's analysis of David Copperfield.
And, Jeremy, you used some evocative prose.
Is that good, Ms.
Keller? You got a b.
All right! Hi, Ms.
Keller.
Hobie, I'd like you to stay after school today, please.
An f? I guess you're not teacher's pet after all, huh, Hobe? Hey, Hobe, where are you headed? To see you.
Oh yeah? You asked me how I felt about you and Ms.
Keller dating each other? I think it stinks.
I just thought you should know that.
Hey, wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
You can't just lay it on me and walk out of here.
What's going on? I have to see her all day long at school, and now I have to see her on the weekends too.
Well, that's not how you felt about her the other day.
Things are different now.
Why, what happened? They're just different.
I get teased about it.
I'm sorry about that.
It's messing up my life.
Hobe, the last thing I want to do is mess up your life, and you know that don't you? You know that.
It's just that I've got feelings for Amanda.
I don't know how to explain it, Hobie.
Are you saying you're in love with her? Yeah.
Yeah, I think I am.
Then fall in love with someone else.
You don't choose the person you fall in love with, pal.
It just happens, you know? It kind of hits you over the head really hard and really fast, and there you are.
I mean, suddenly you can't stop thinking about that person.
You've got no control about that.
I mean-- am I making any sense at all? Yeah, I guess so.
We've got to work this thing out, pal, because I want to keep seeing her.
Yeah, I'll see you back at the house.
That's 22.
Sorry, sir.
Split them.
Mr.
Kramer, I'm surprised to see you here.
Yeah, well not as surprised as you're going to be after I win back all the money I lost.
Hey.
When I heard you were on board, I assumed you'd come to pay your debts.
I did.
Then I'm sure you won't mind paying what you owe before you finish this hand.
Mr.
Danvier, you'll get your money.
Deal.
Now that the games are over-- it's time to talk business.
Good, our preferred language is cash.
Could i-- could I pay you tomorrow? We don't like to hear that in any language.
Yeah, and I don't like saying it either.
I'm tapped.
I don't even have enough money for the boat ride back.
That's one thing you don't have to worry about, Mr.
Kramer.
The boat ride is free.
Stop! Please stop! Stop! Come on! Eddie! Where were two miles ago, huh? What happened? Let's just say I went for a boat ride without a life jacket or a boat.
I'm getting an ambulance.
No, no, no.
I'm just a little tired.
It's a good thing you're not exhausted, we'd be burying you.
Eddie, what happened? What's going on? Nothing.
Tell me, Eddie.
You can tell me.
Or you can tell Mitch.
Mitch? You'll tell Mitch? Only if I have to, only if he asks.
Thanks.
Of course, when he reads the incident report saying I dragged you out of the surf, he's probably gonna ask.
What could I do? Laurence and his goons grabbed me from behind.
What could you do? You could have not gone to begin with.
I felt lucky.
Oh, yank the chain man! Where the hell was your damn brain? What are you hitting him for? You took him there to begin with.
You introduced him to this illegal gambling boat.
Hey, don't go knocking on my back door, Pomeroy.
Just a night's entertainment.
So is a good movie.
Yeah, well I didn't tell him to go back all right? The second feature was his choice.
I screwed up.
I'll take care of it.
You never said how much you lost.
I lost everything I won the other night and then some.
Oh, come on, Eddie, tell me.
Tell me you didn't sign a marker.
How much? 3,000.
Where the hell is your brain? Did Laurence bother telling you what the interest is on an unpaid marker? Yes, 20%, no different than most credit cards.
That's 20% a week, Eddie, a week.
So your three grand at the end of the first week is 3,600.
The second week it's like, what, four something? The third week is like five something, right? I get the picture.
This is an illegal gambling operation.
Your debt won't hold up in court.
Where are you going? I'm going to use the phone.
We cannot turn these guys in.
What are you doing? Eddie gambled, he lost, he owes them the money.
Craig, Craig, he's right, man.
It's my fault not theirs.
Where are you going to get the money? I'll get it.
I'll work nights, pay it back week by week.
You're not going to be able to work hard enough to earn enough money to pay the interest on the interest.
Look, I can take care of myself, all right? I don't need you guys to babysit me.
I'm calling garner.
Oh no, before you call garner, give me a shot at cutting a deal, okay? All right.
Fine.
Hi.
Hi.
You look great.
Thanks, school clothes.
Hmm, I'm going back to school.
We have a problem.
Hobie.
Yeah, come on in.
Thanks for coming by so early.
Hobie's pretty upset.
Before we go any further, I don't like having to defend grades and I can't play favorites with your son.
Grades? Favorites? What are you talking about? Hobie's f.
What f? His book report, didn't he tell you? This is the first I've heard about a book report or an f.
Well, then I don't get it, because I thought that's why you wanted me to stop by.
I wanted to talk to you about us.
Hobie's upset about us dating.
He came to me yesterday.
Before or after school? After.
After I flunked him.
No, no, this has got a lot more to do with it than that.
Well, all I know is that Hobie is in serious trouble with his classwork.
Missed homework assignments, this book report.
There's a big mid-term tomorrow, I know he's not prepared for it.
Why didn't you tell me about this earlier? Because whenever possible, I like to work things out between student and teacher.
Amanda, that's all good and fine, but you could have said something.
I am saying something.
What am I supposed to do, come running to you every time he makes a mistake? You could have said something.
I've got to get to school.
Ama-- dad, I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to cause so many problems.
Then what did you mean to do? Get ready for school, you've got a test tomorrow.
Don't let me down.
Hey, dad, she forgot her-- briefcase.
Snake eyes.
Again? Danny told you to wait for me up on the deck.
Well, I got tired of looking at long beach.
This is more my style, anyway.
Hell, if you had a croupier down here, you could have made some cash while I waited.
That could always be arranged.
Yes.
500 bucks here.
A friend of mine's got a marker with you.
Eddie Kramer.
Well, it's a start.
One of these a day, and we'll clear up this little matter in no time.
No, I had more like one of these a month in mind.
Then the kid's got a problem.
Well, just set me up.
You're out of cash.
A thousand-dollar marker, one bet.
What will it be? Why don't you put it on the don't come line? Snake eyes.
You win.
Apply it to the debt, my friend.
They cheated me? Yeah, loaded dice, marked cards, the works.
I thought you said you knew these guys.
All right, so it was a little error in judgment taking you guys over there.
Are you ready to get the police involved? No, now it's personal.
I think we should take care of this little problem on our own.
Personal? Eddie, I'll get you the three grand, no interest.
You pay them off and you walk.
Pay them off? No way.
Look, these guys cheated me and now they're trying to collect.
They're scum, man.
You know, he's got a good point there.
I think it's time we hit these guys where it hurts.
Come on, you with us? All right, where do you want me to put it? Put it on your head.
Funny.
Put it anywhere, just want to make sure I haven't lost my touch here.
All right, you tell me when.
Uh, ba, ba, ba, ba.
Right there, that's good.
Let's personalize this.
Huh, you like that? Nice.
All right.
All right.
Here we go.
I'm surprised Craig is going along with this kind of plan.
Oh yeah, no problem.
Not bad.
This is gonna be fun.
I'm very pleased with your test results.
They show me that you have been paying attention in class and that you have been doing your homework.
That's what she thinks.
Of course, there are always exceptions.
Nice job, Hobie.
Thanks.
Glad to see you're back to your old self again.
I guess you were right, Hobe.
Your tracks are greased.
Newmie said he saw you sitting out here.
I would have waited till you got home, but I thought you might want to try it out.
Go on, take it, it's yours.
Why? Why? Aren't you the same kid who's been talking my ear off for two weeks about how much you wanted this surfboard? Hey, Hobie, I'm proud of you.
Amanda told me about your test scores.
Go on, take it, it's yours.
You deserve it.
What are you waiting for? Hit the waves.
See you back at the house in a couple of hours.
Dad! Yeah? Take it back.
Why, what's wrong? I don't deserve it.
I don't deserve anything.
I didn't mean to.
I swear to you I didn't, but it was like there was a magnet in it or something, I couldn't stop.
You wanna translate? Ms.
Keller's briefcase.
It flew open.
The test was there, and I saw the answers.
I didn't get the a, I cheated.
You got yourself in quite a mess, haven't you? You gonna tell her? No, you are.
How? You're gonna start off by saying you're sorry.
And then you're gonna crack your books.
You're gonna study real hard from now until June, or you're going right back to summer school, you got that? Here.
You're not gonna return it? You told me the truth.
I appreciate that.
Keep it in your bedroom.
Get your grades up, it's all yours.
All right.
Are you ready? I was born ready.
Have fun.
Hello.
What do you want? I was wondering how the studebaker was running.
Come on aboard.
I told you my presence would open a few doors around here.
Yeah, that and the password.
Thanks Mac, come back get us in a couple of hours.
Well? I'm thinking, I'm thinking.
I think we should stick.
Gina, I know what I'm doing.
I'm just saying that I think it's a good idea-- hit me.
Woo! Here.
All right.
Hang onto this bag just a second.
Okay.
Okay.
You've got to be kidding me.
Cort, John Cort.
Honey, it's getting late.
What do you think happened to Eddie and double o blonde head? If we lose all our cash, they'll write us a marker, isn't that right? Right.
Right.
The little lady.
She's such a worrier.
Damn it, darter, open the door.
Geez.
Did you get that? Yeah, yeah.
Here we go.
Hang on to that.
What's that? Just a little insurance.
Okay, there should be an air duct around here somewhere.
Okay, here it is.
Does Craig know about this? Don't worry about Craig.
He'll be the first one to thank me when this is all over.
Was fire included in this plan? No.
Are you sure? Yes.
Cort was just supposed to cut the power.
Ladies and gentlemen, please move to the nearest exit.
Let's get out of here.
All right, everything's going okay.
Where's Cort? He's still down below.
I'd better go get him.
I have a little surprise.
You stay here, you'll be safe.
Damnit, darter, open the door.
Eddie! Strait water warning.
He's coming in loud and clear.
Nice timing.
It's not like you to get caught with your hands in the cookie jar, Cort.
Well, it seems to me you got things a bit twisted here, Laurence.
I'll be out of these waters before the cops come.
I tell you what.
I'll bet you 100 bucks you won't get out of here.
A man of your experience should know the odds of the house.
Drop it.
Looks like you rolled snake eyes.
So, what are you doing here? Garner's a cop.
It's his job to arrest the bad guys.
Thanks, Craig.
What? You were wired? That's why you were standing out there in the hallway risking my life? That's right.
Did you get all you needed? You bet.
Bad choice of words.
Unbelievable.
Well, we didn't need him, Craig.
I mean, no offense, garner, but he wasn't part of the game plan.
Neither was the smoke bomb.
All right.
Thanks.
Cort, we need to talk about your style of doing business.
But first, the rest of the money.
What? The rest of the money.
Come on.
Thanks, guys.
All the money.
